Proposed Change to NEAIHA By-Laws

The Executive Committee has conducted a review of the bylaws and as initially approved a change with regard to the term of the Vendor Liaison.  The proposed change extends the term from one (1) year to two (2) years.  All changes to by-laws are subject to a vote of membership.

The change to the by-laws will read as follows:

Section 11:  The vendor liaison shall serve as the primary contact between NEAIHA and the various vendors that provide services, equipment, and supplies to the EH&S community in the region.  The liaison maintains current vendor information, handles communication with vendors regarding NEAIHA, solicits vendors for meeting sponsorships, and coordinates and runs the vendor exhibit at the annual all-day meeting.  The term of office of the vendor liaison shall be two (2) years.
